I would be really surprised to see an actual policy question on a torts test. Everyone thinks their torts prof is a policy wonk until they finish the test. The typical torts exam has a long fact pattern and a prompt (e.g. discusses the causes of action . . .). If your torts prof has actually told you that you will have to answer a policy question, see the book "Getting to Maybe."frosty_dog_2006 wrote:Any advice for how to prepare for a policy analysis question on a torts exam? This would include analyzing topics such as deterrence, costs, flexibility, allocating blame, etc. for the tort system doing certain things (e.g., creating a rebuttable presumption for a statutory breach v. negligence per se).
I am really struggling with being able to work through this particular type of analysis. Any help/suggested resources would be much appreciated.
